Each year, 250 boys and girls travel to Gordonstoun from all over the world. Since
the Summer School began in 1976, around 7000 students have attended these exciting
courses from over 60 countries.
When looking for a summer school, parent's aspirations are not always modelled on
those of their children, particularly as they reach their teenage years. Parents
look for a programme with a good reputation and established credentials, where safety
and staff quality are proven, where the environment is safe, friendly, caring and
well organised and where positive gains will be made as well as the course being
a time of fun. Student's priorities are fun, excitement and challenge with lots
of different things to do. They also want the opportunity to meet boys and girls
from around the world and make good and long lasting friendships.
The Gordonstoun International Summer School provides all this and much, much more.
Many students who have attended the courses here write in their end of course questionnaire
that the Gordonstoun International Summer School was - "the best three weeks of
their lives".

The Gordonstoun International Summer School is held in July and August. Courses
last three and a half weeks for boys and girls between the ages of eight and sixteen
inclusive: students follow courses appropriate to their age group. They will receive
instruction in English as an Additional Language or, for those who are fluent in
English courses in Information Technology, Literature with English Skills or French
are offered.
Following the courses, we also receive letters from parents commenting on improvements
in confidence, maturity, skills with language as well as in international and personal
relationships. The Gordonstoun International Summer School provides a summer holiday
course with a difference.
Parents can send their children across the world to Gordonstoun in complete confidence
where our staff will be waiting to take care of them and give them the 'summer experience
of a lifetime'.
